Please Help, just swapped engine in car starts up and dies, any ideas on whats wrong
hey guys just swapped a jspec into my car, its starts up and then dies immediatly unless i keep the revs up, i drove it like this and then it died and my battery was dead so i couldn't start it up and then i tried to jump it and that didn't work, wouldn't push start, does anyone have any ideas why my engine isn't working,

If it trys to drop into the low RPM range, but you can keep it alive by revving it, you probably have a vacuum leak, and a pretty serious one.
Charge your battery up and check/recheck everything related to the vacuum system. Also make sure the AFM is plugged in.

It's most likely a vacume leak. Do you still have the rat's nest?
Do you have a brother named Wes? if so, I went to school with him.
